LOVING HABITAT IN THE HOME

Now I'm in full house mode I've been looking at ways to spruce up our sofa and hide the multitude of F mishaps that have appeared over the years. I've lost count at how many times I've turned up at the dry cleaners, clutching sofa covers decorated in crayon or spaghetti in the vain hope that they can perform the impossible and make it as good as new *news flash* apparently they can't.

Now that F is no longer a baby or a sticky fingered toddler, whose sole purpose in life seems to be focused on touching every part of the sofa while covered in chocolate or peanut butter, I am thinking that now might be the time to upgrade. Yep I could use throws and cushions to spruce it up and hide all that lurks beneath and I do, but I still know it's there, plus any excuse for sofa window shopping has to be a good thing right.

It's no big secret that I have a crush on Habitat, I've always been a big fan of their design, functionality and fun approach to creating stylish interior spaces, which is why you might spot a few pieces in our lounge such as this Tripod light which I love. So I though I would share some of the designs that I'm lusting over right now, after all a girl can dream right.

I totally love the fabric on this Italian made 3 seater Chester Sofa and we've had our eye on the solid oak three door Max Sideboard which would be a great place to hide all our mess, plus it would look great with lots of fresh flowers on top.

Our current sofa is grey too so it makes sense that I am drawn to the grey sofa's available, I think there are so many ways to style it, especially with pops of colour such as this orange cushion. I love the arms on this one as it would be perfect to rest a tray on with coffee and a book, and if it hasn't got wide arms then one of these bamboo side tables would look great too.

In fact I would just really like a lounge that looks beautifully styled and can stay like that for just one hour for me to enjoy ;) I'd love to hear about your sofa crushes and get some inspiration.

I bought the cheapest sofa bed I could find when I moved in 6 years ago and it's still going strong. I'd love a revamp in my home but the material that my current one is made from hides a multitude of sins.(I too have sticky-fingered children and the odd crayon mishap!)

I can't wait until my kids grow up and I can get nice new sofas. Mine cost a fortune when we got our first house four years ago but with three small children it is safe to say they are looking a little worse for wear!

Oooh this hasn't helped my wanting a new sofa lately...! Great pieces- I never think to look in Habitat for furniture- I just remember having to trudge there once a week in my receptionist job when I left uni to pick up uber cool stationery bits! x

I have long been in love with Habitat too. I have so many things from there. If we ever move I would definitely choose some of the newer styles they have in this season. A grey couch is a must in my eyes. hahah Great choices. Happy decorating babes!

My son isn't that young anymore (10) but accidents happen with children. And we have pets. So, it's something that would show the accidents very easily and that isn't easily destroyed for the next few years for me.
